For a limited time we are offering free advice for issues relating to health during the menopause years. Here are some that have been answered recently:

I am going through a family crisis, will a Reiki treatment help to calm me?

Reiki healing is a very relaxing, gentle treatment. The energy will go to the area where healing is most required, whether it is in your physical, mental, emotional or spriitual being. Yes, you will find it most calming.


I am having huge digestive problems in addition to my menopause symptoms. Can you help?

As we mature our digestive processes begin to work less efficiently which can, if not addressed, lead to more severe problems in later life. To help your digestion I would advise you to begin a de-toxification of your body by drinking pure alkaline, ionized water, (2 litres a day) and use Healpas de-tox patches each night, which are specially designed to avoid overloading the liver and kidneys. Also, it is important to eat a light, healthy diet with plenty of fruit and vegetables. If your symptoms persist consult a Naturopath.


I have been experiencing severe fatigue, and can't seem to function as I used to. I have also had one or two hot flushes. I am only 42, could this be the start of menopause already?

Yes, your hormone levels begin to drop as early as 40 (sometimes even earlier), you are most probably in the peri-menopause (or pre-menopause) stage. The Magnopro System can help you to get a better night's sleep, leaving you feeling more energetic during the day.


My sleeping patterns are badly disrupted , although I am not suffering from hot flushes. What can I do?

It is best to have a light meal at least 3 hours prior to retiring and avoid coffee and alchohol in the evening. Try a glass of milk before bed and put a few drops of lavender essential oil on your pillow. I do recommend the Magnopro system for sleep disturbances. I have received good feedback from my clients on how much their sleeping patterns have improved after using it. Also try my relaxing Meditation CD: it's almost guaranteed to calm your mind.


I have just had a Bone Mineral Density test and I am bordering on Osteoporosis in my hip. How can I prevent it from getting worse?

Don't despair , there is much you can do. Here are a few guidelines:

  1. Get some exercise every day if possible. 30 minutes brisk walking, using hand weights is ideal or any weight bearing exercise.
  2. Cut down on coffee and alchohol - they drain calcium from your bones.
  3. Take a good quality calcium supplement every day. I recommend Sango Ocean Milk Coral Calcium. It is one of the best. It also has a stabilizing effect on emotional disturbances.
  4. Eat calcium rich foods, such as cottage cheese, yogurt, tahini, and tempeh.

How often is it safe to use Action Balm, I have been using it for arthritis in my knee?

You can use it as frequently as every hour if the pain is severe, and gradually reduce the application to every four hours over a period of three to four weeks. It does have an overall healing effect on the cause as well.
